If there are no takers, another option is to frankenstein British Caledonian's 1973 fps: keep traffic to/from the British Isles, Continental Europe, South America and Africa (except Nigeria, Ghana and Libya). I can decompile and have a go at it this weekend According to Wikipedia ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Caledonian#A_new_chapter_in_British_commercial_aviation), fleet was VC10, BAC 1-11-200 and -500.

A quick search of Ebay turned up 1 copy of BUA's 1964 timetable, if anyone is interested. Item number: 290138572873 BUA '64? Hmmm..could that mean Carvair? Ever seen "Goldfinger"? (Probably a dumb question, who hasn't seen the quintessential Bond film?) There's a couple of great shots of a BUA Air Ferries Carvair when Goldfinger leaves England for Switzerland and Bond follows him on a later flight. That would be a great schedule to have, I'll keep an eye on it. Oh, and the VC-10 is the most beautiful jetliner ever built, IMHO. |

One overflew Fairford whilst I was their for the Air Show on Saturday. Pity it never came in. OK, BUA had several offshoots. BUA as such never operated the Carvair. That was British United Air Ferries, which later became British Air Ferries (BAF) which was famous for its Carvair operations. BUA was based at Gatwick, and BUAF at Southend. Now let me see.................. It cost thirty two pound, 14 shillings and 0 pence for an adult return fair from Southend to Balse for a 23 day return, and the car cost............ £10.00 exactly, back in 1963. I have three BAF (BUAF) timetables and the 1963 uses the Carvair and Bristol Super Freighters (B.170 MK32). Another one for later Paul |
